Cool, let me know when I can order your ring.

> people are beginning to feel emoji fatigue Are they? News to me. I like them. Do they show up in Lynx or whatever terminal-based browser the hip kids are using these day are usin…

> Discourse has one major technical challenge currently, that I know about. It doesn't work (for being logged in and interacting) on iOS 15 and older as of the past year. It's view…

I hope most Intel Mac users avoided macOS 26. I kept my remaining Intel Mac on macOS 15, even though it supports macOS 26. It's not as bad as those poor folks who got stuck on OS X…

They have on occasion, when it makes sense to unveil OS changes and hardware simultaneously. Apple Vision Pro, move to new architecture, 2019 Mac Pro tower – that sort of thing. Mo…

It's been 10 years since any Mac shipped with a FireWire port. That was only because they kept selling a single 13-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro model for several years. That model w…

Plex just works, it's not weird at all. Also, I prefer proprietary software. It pays my bills.

I believe that's what Apple did for AirDrop, "Everyone for 10 Minutes" is available in AirDrop settings. You can also use NFC (Near-field communication) to initiate a transfer with…
